A prerequisite for any revolution, good or bad, is some brave, daring souls standing up against the status quo, refusing to accept things as they are any longer. For example, it took the work of courageous women like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and other bold individuals for women to gain the right to vote in the United States in 1920. It was the tireless efforts and the persistence in the face of opposition of these pioneers that led to the desired change finally coming to fruition. The same can be said for many other revolutions; they began with a few people willing to defy the norm in order to enact major change.

The fashion industry, although it may not seem as significant as some past revolutions, is no different. Bold individuals and groups are beginning to rise up against the way things have always been done in an effort to make the industry more inclusive and more representative of the diversity that exists in our world. Here are three of the many game changers revolutionizing the fashion industry by standing up for change.
